GTO RHINO®

The GTO RHINO® has been developed for low flow, high pressure applications. THe Pitot tube desing produces a stable, pulsation free flow. The ability to operate with low minimum flow makes the pump suitable for a wide variety of applications, within its performance envelope.

Features

Meets API 610 Standards

Heavy Duty Power Frame

Higher Operating Speeds / Pressures

Two Year Power Frame Warranty

Variety of Seal Flush Plans

Large Sight Glass. Bull’s-eye sight glass 1-1/4″ simplifies oil level and oil condition monitoring that is critical to bearing life.

Powder Coated Oil Sump Lining. Fusion Bonded Polyester process- TGIC designed to remove impurities in the castings and applied to the interior surface of the power frame oil sump that provides an impenetrable barrier between the iron frame and the oil, enhancing the long-term quality and cleanliness of the lubricating oil.

HOW DOES THE GTO RHINO® OPERATE?

Liquid enters the pump via the suction line (Yellow) of the specially designed, interchangeable distribution manifold, passes the mechanical seal (the mechanical seal is only under suction pressure), and enters the rotor cover where it is accelerated to a speed identical to the rotor speed creating a liquid ring.

The liquid ring travels at the same peripheral speed as the rotor increasing pressure and rotational velocity.

The stationary, wing-shaped Pitot tube is placed inside the rotor and has a circular opening located close to the inside of the rotor.

This Pitot tube has a double function:
1) The liquid enters the Pitot tube openings at the periphery of the rotating rotor. This is where pressure and velocity are the greatest.
2) As the liquid enters the Pitot tube (Red) much of its kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy by the internal shape of the Pitot tube. Using this operating principle, relatively high pressures can be obtained in a single stage process.
